"Go where others fear to..."

	Ten Tors Weekend	280 weeks ago
	For those taking part on the ten tors weekend (8th-10th) Feb. If you haven't got a letter and T1, get one on Tuesday. If you turn up with all your kit and no T1 you'll have to stay for cadets instead. The weekend will cost you �5, to cover food and accommodation. We will depart from the unit at 1900, arriving at Okehampton that evening. I've been advised pick up from the gate will be about 3pm on sunday, bring a phone in case this changes and you need to inform parents. You will not be allowed on the moor without the right kit, if you're missing anything, see stores on tuesday and get what you need. All meals will be provided by Area, this includes exped rations, however, it does not include your emergency rations. Bear in mind this an area course, you're representing the unit and the district [i don't think anyone else from Somerset and Dorset is coming], please behave accordingly. There will be four staff members from the unit present, along with training staff so don't think you can just mess around :p Programme: Friday 1900 - Leave TS Mantle VC 2100 - Briefing and Kit inspections 2300 - Lights out Saturday 0700 Breakfast 0745 Depart Camp 0845 Arrive at RV1 (GR707557) 0900 Route 1200 Lunch at RV2 (GR708604) 1600 End route, return to camp 1800 Dinner 1900 Instruction [Before you ask, I don't know what this will be] 2100 Free Time 2300 Lights out Sunday 0700 Breakfast 0800 Instruction 1030 Clean accommodation 1130 Debrief 1200 Depart Oakhampton Kit List Sleeping Bag Wash Kit, towel KFS, Mug Emergency Rations (Must contain hot meal and drink) Rucksack (obviously!)
